Jamie Carragher stunned by Arne Slot’s latest Mohamed Salah snub

  • Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals after a 2-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, resulting in a 4-0 aggregate loss.
  • Manager Arne Slot controversially benched Mohamed Salah, just like he did in the first leg, opting to start Alexander Isak alongside Hugo Ekitike up front.
  • Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher heavily criticised Slot's tactical decision, claiming Isak was “nowhere near fit” after his recent injury layoff, while questioning the choice to drop Salah given his recent form.
  • Ekitike sustained an injury early in the match, leading to Salah's earlier-than-expected introduction, while Isak was substituted at half-time after an ineffective performance.
  • Carragher also expressed disappointment with £100m signing Florian Wirtz's regression in form, noting his failure to make a significant impact in crucial games.
